After inserting the inner container 100 into the container body 200, the inner container 200 may be pressurized into the container body 200. Since the locking portion 510 is formed on the upper cap 500, when the upper cap 500 seals the container body 200, the locking portion 510 abuts on a part of the inner container 100 and is inserted into the container body. It is possible to prevent the inner container 100 from being pressurized into the container body 200. That is, when the upper cap 500 is closed, it is possible to prevent the inner container 100 from being pressurized into the container body 200 and prevent the contents from being discharged due to a malfunction.

After opening the upper cap 500, when the inner container 100 is pressurized into the container body 200, the piston is inserted into the cylinder communicating with the storage portion 110 in the inner container 100, and the fluid in the inner container 100 is the piston and the pump. It flows through the nozzle 320 and is discharged to the distribution unit 400.

When the combined inner container 100 is pressurized, the fluid in the inner container 100 flows toward the pump nozzle 320 via the pump 310, then flows along the flow path 411 of the intermediate body 410, and the lower distribution plate. It is discharged into the upper distribution plate 430 through the hole formed in 420. The discharged fluid is uniformly distributed on the surface of the upper distribution plate 430 while passing through the distribution path 431. The user can uniformly apply the fluid uniformly distributed on the surface of the upper distribution plate 430 to the face, body and the like using a cosmetic tool such as a puff.

When the pressing force is released, the inner container 100 pressurized by the elastic member 330 returns to the position before being pressurized. The user can continuously discharge the contents by pressurizing the inner container 100 into the container body 200 again as needed.

The amount of fluid to be discharged is determined according to the pressing force for pressurizing the inner container 100 into the container body 200, the number of times of pressurization, the degree of pressurization, and / or the pressurizing time. The amount of fluid discharged at one time may be a predetermined amount.

When the contents in the inner container 100 are used up, the user can remove the inner container 100 from the container body 200 through the opening 210. The inner container 100 may be completely removed from the container body 200 and removed.

The user can remove the existing inner container 100 from the container body 200 and insert a new inner container into the container body 200 as needed. For example, the user can replace the inner container when he / she wants to replace the inner container 100 whose fluid is completely exhausted, or when he / she wants to use a new inner container having another fluid.
Hereinafter, a method of using the cosmetic container according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The user of the cosmetic container according to the embodiment of the present invention can insert the inner container 100 into the container body 200 and remove it from the container body 200 while holding the cosmetic container with one hand. For example, a user who uses the cosmetic container according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 holds the cosmetic container with one hand, opens the upper cap 500, and puts the inner container 100 on the side surface of the cosmetic container into the container body 200 with his thumb. By pressing, the contents can be discharged. Further, the inner container 100 can be removed from the container body 200 by inserting a finger into the grip portion 220 formed in the separation space between the opening 210 of the container body 200 and the outer peripheral portion 120 of the inner container. The user can easily insert the inner container 100 into the container body 200, remove it from the container body 200, or replace it with only one hand without using both hands.
